  Hello, I’m in search of mastodon train folk, is there a website that might tell me what is going on with this stopped train I’m on? I don’t understand the announcements in German (I realize the answer is probably just “that’s Deutsche Bahn”, but it would be good to know if my train still plans to actually make it to my destination)

  Getting so good at guitar you think you’re good or maybe ok at guitar is overrated. You’ve gotta get so good you know how bad you are at guitar.

  My colleague called me a nerd for using vim yesterday, which was an extremely "these are not my people" moment, so if anyone wants a me, I'm open to being hired! I'm shockingly cheap too fyi. Open to exploring working on a contract basis too. I know: - Developer relations - Engineering teams, engineering culture, spotify model stuff - Mob programming - Guitar building #getfedihired

  Apartment rental companies are gathering data from prospective tenants in the Netherlands by making them log into the government data portal in their apps and hijacking the session cookie. If you’re a developer and you’ve implemented this, fuck you.

  The fact that not only people but engineering and product managers will accept anything the lying machines say, but won’t accept anything I, an experienced software engineer, have to say about engineering software has turned my into the Joker.

  How could X disaster have happened? Didn't we have safeguards? Folks, nobody actually wants to prevent disasters. They're going to just do what they're going to do with as little effort as possible and just hope. That's what people do!

  The genius brigade on LinkedIn are complaining about the attached bottle caps. Apparently they haven’t figured out how to use them without the cap getting in the way. Adult kindergarten has business fancy dress day.

  All the #emfcamp2026 talks are already online. I had to double check that it was actually the correct year: https://app.media.ccc.de/b/conferences/emf/2026 Great to be able to watch the talks I missed so soon after the event!

  C-Suites in 5 years (hopefully in the trials): How could we have known that the efficiency gains we predicted would come from AI were unfounded? That would've required us to listen to the opinions of: - Our qualified and experienced employees - AI domain experts - AI ethicists - Literally any of the research into efficiency gains from the use of AI - What literally all smart people are saying - People who can observe the world they exist in

  I think back to fruitful collaborations with engineering colleagues and leaders I greatly respected, and I remember the great lessons I learned from them and have applied (with limited success I must admit) to my career. They’re all just on LinkedIn talking about how programming is prompting now. Debasing themselves as if the skill is just gone.

  This is sure to draw the ire of my former massachussan neighbors, but it’s clear to see that Dunkin Donuts is better in the Netherlands. New England Ben n Jerry’s is way better though.

  Today's woodworking adventure involved shaving an honest to goodness spoke with my spokeshave. Tomorrow, I'll be cutting panels again, because the hexagon was too big. Turns out when you don't plan to do dovetails, you get stuff done.

  My toxic trait is that I really think social media would actually be fine in a healthy society that doesn’t depend on emiseration of the working (and middle) class and glorify commoditization and commercial exploitation of things like interpersonal relationships, art and culture, and packaging your life up as a story to sell to advertising companies in exchange for a tiny cut of their revenue, and in which people are disempowered in even imagining a better world

  I’m so mad about the Star Trek situation.

  I hope everyone’s working on their hexpansions for #emfcamp - I sure am. I might have to organize an hexpansion talent show.
